Iron Man on steroids, mixed with Independence Day, Godzilla, and a little Top Gun.

Rating: 10/10 (14 July 2013)

Giant aliens from the sea, have wrecked havoc, destroying half the cities of the world, so the military puts up a funding for an experiment to build giant sized robots called Jaegers, in hopes of being our last line defense, but the question is will it?
director Guillermo del Toro really shows how much he is a big fan of those old giant monster movies from Japan. Pacific Rim is a tribute to those old films. The effects are incredible, they don't look fake or phony CGI like your always seeing. But it does not only depend on the action and the effects, but the cast really bring a presence to this. It's over two hours but does not feel like it is, unlike The Lone Ranger. Pacific Rim is very well paced, never gets boring for a second.
